Adalberto Mata-Beras' wife says she hasn't seen him since police came through area

As police continue to look for a man sought in connection with a series of break-ins and attacks at a Kansas City, Kansas, apartment complex, people in a neighborhood more than seven miles away fear for their safety.

People who live in the neighborhood where suspect Adalberto Mata-Beras lives said they think police just missed him when they swarmed the area about a week ago. His wife told KMBC 9 News through a translator that she hasn’t seen him since and doesn't know what to think about the allegations.

Beras faces rape and aggravated burglary charges in connection with a string of break-ins at the Woodview Terrace apartments. Police said they’re investigating at least four similar break-ins, and in some cases, the intruder got in by scaling balconies to the second floor.

Anthony England lives near the suspect and said he’ll have his eyes open for him.

“I’m going to remember that face. That’s crazy. He lives right next door,” England said. “Right next door. That is crazy.”

Beras is described as being about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. Police said they consider him to be armed and dangerous.
